How normal is this?
« on: December 09, 2010, 08:51:13 PM »
So, How normal is that a person has average body temperature of 36.1°C?
Well, normal body temperature for me is 35.5-36.8°C....
My body temperature rarely goes over 36.8°C or is lower than 35.5°C
Actualy, normaly it is 35.8°C on the mornings it is always ~36.7°C
but how normal is this?

Well, I've heard that the normal average is sumthing like ~37°C...

well... on average, the human body temperature is somewhere between 36.5°C-37°C, or even up t 37.5°C for newborn babies / infants / toddlers.

Your body temperature is a bit lower than normal, but not into "mild hypothermia" low, that's below 35°C. Probably it's a slight adaptation to the cold; it's easier to maintain a steady 36°C than 36.7°C since less calories are consumed. Still, if you notice any other symptoms related or not to hypothermia you should see a doctor for a more in-depth examination (especially the thyroid gland).

My first question is what kind of thermometer did you use? The digital ones are known to sometimes report lower temperatures erroneously. Use a mercury-based one if you haven't already.

One must use all the possible means to cheat your parents into thinking you're sick!

I learned to use the lamp to heat the meter.  ;D
Running water is bad, it goes up too fast.

I agree. Although it does remind me that I should pick a thermometer up at some point...

Looks normal to me.
You need to go through a full checkup to see if something is actually wrong.

Also what is your daily activities? To me it looks like you are not getting enough calories. I don't sleep much (maybe like 3 to 5 hours at a time and at different times during the day) and I don't feel tired all day long but I also eat a lot. I consume about 2500 to 3500 calories a day.

Im assuming you mean 74 Kilo because if you mean pounds then you should be dead. I would eat more but not in one sitting. Its best to eat through out the day.

If you lay around all day or bored you will feel tired. So if you keep busy you will have more energy.

Another thing you should look into is how well you are sleeping. You say you get 10 hours of sleep but are you completely asleep. You might think you are but you could be moving around while you sleep and never entering a deep sleep or rapid eye movement sleep (forgot what stage its called)

it is called REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep :P I skip classes but I consentrate when I'm at school xD
and yeah, I don't sleep so well, Ioften wake up multiple times during the night :P But I still manage to sleep the 6-10h/day
